"Iran's navy forces are ready to escort the peace flotilla to Gaza with all their powers and capabilities," announced Ali Shirazi, Khamenei's representative inside the Revolutionary Guards.
The report came just a day after Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was reportedly considering personally joining a flotilla to Gaza and offering the support of the Turkish Navy to protect such flotillas from Israeli inspections.
A naval force from either country heading toward Gaza would be tantamount to a declaration of war on Israel, which is a very small country that is surrounded by hostile Muslim entities.
Mark Regev, spokesman for the Israeli prime minister, earlier dismissed the prospect of a hostile escort for a Gaza flotilla as not being a realistic possibility. "Some of these reports must be taken with a grain of salt ... I am not sure that is a realistic scenario," he told British Sky News. "I prefer that we sort these things out peacefully. Nobody wants any saber-rattling. It does not do any good."

The third world war has already started.
This is how Iran is acting while they blow smoke up Hussein Obama's dress about their "peaceful nuclear intentions" and then Obama falls all over himself trying to convince us there is nothing we can do....(translation: we WILL do nothing its exactly what I would like to see happen). But WE won't have to do anything, trust me. Don't do anything stupid when it comes to Israel. They ain't asking for anyone's permission to defend their country....
